Deadline: 15-Jun-25
The Toy Trust is accepting applications for the Toy Trust Funding Programme.
100% of funds raised for the Toy Trust reach the people who need it – every penny goes to children’s charities, as all administration costs are covered by the British Toy & Hobby Association or supported by no charge volunteer activity.
All the money helps children – through a huge variety of projects, many of which would not be possible without the assistance. Toy Trust funds help disadvantaged children and their families to:
- Alleviate suffering
- Support children through awful experiences
- Encourage achievement through adversity
- Purchase vital equipment
- Provide care
- Bolster existing initiatives
- Initiate brand new projects
- Satisfy basic needs
Eligibility Criteria
- They welcome applications from small UK based children’s charities – working for the benefit of children across the UK.
- All applications should:
- Be supported by a registered Charity number
- Be in support of disadvantaged children aged below 13 years
- Have supporting up to date financial accounts
- Be in support of children and projects regardless of religious beliefs, gender or disability
- Come from a charity that has been running for a minimum of one full year
- Be for less than £5000 unless a compelling case can be put forward
- Show real benefit for relieving hardship and suffering to beneficiaries
- Not be for individual cases without compelling reasons
- Be for equipment and services but generally not for salaries, wages and research
- Successful applicants cannot reapply for funding for 2 years. This in turn will allow the Toy Trust to distribute funds fairly given the large volume of applications they receive.
- Not be for books or publishing unless for compelling reasons
